Remember to try different ways to learn your spellings, this helps them to stick in your brain!

How many different, creative ways can you practise your spellings?

For example:

• Use fridge magnets
•  Rainbow write
•  Bubble write
•  Look, cover, write, check
•  Write them with your eyes closed!
•  Write the letters around in a circle

Next spellings will be sent home on Wednesday 26th February, for a test on Monday 2nd March.

In the meantime, Miss Singh and I talked a lot around consistency with spellings at Parents’ Evening, especially when children write independently.

Children are welcome to write about something they did over the half term and bring it in to share with the class, showing us they remembered to spell the Common Exception Words and High Frequency Word correctly.  Children might like to start using a simple dictionary to help look for spelling corrections themselves.

We are looking at some common exception words.

Remember, these words like to break the spelling rules! These particular words are often pronounced differently, depending on the accent you have!
